“There were so many jaw-dropping moments in the film that, literally, I was astonished and everybody will be,” said Nancy Mosser, whose casting company helped hire local actors for the film.

One of the actors hired was Patrick Jordan, who got a chance to talk with the film’s director, Christopher Nolan.

“We talked about the city of Pittsburgh a lot. He’s a big fan of Pittsburgh,” said Jordan.

Jordan was also asked to shoot scenes in New Jersey, New York and Los Angeles.

He told Channel 4 Action News anchor Sally Wiggin about the first time he and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Gotham City Police Officer John Blake, rehearsed with Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman, who returns for his third stint as Bruce Wayne confidant Lucius Fox.

“We walked back to the elevator, the elevator doors close and Joe just kind of shakes his head and looks over at me and he goes, ‘That’s Morgan frickin’ Freeman,’ and I was like, ‘I’m glad you said it first, man,’” said Jordan.

Joshua Reese also shot scenes at Heinz Field and Carnegie Mellon University in Oakland alongside actor Tom Hardy, who looks to bring about Gotham’s reckoning as the villainous Bane.

But Reese said Hardy is much different than his on-screen counterpart.

“He was such a funny guy. When they called cut, he was keeping us in stitches. He’s got a great sense of humor,” said Reese.

As for what they thought of the final product, Jordan called it a “masterpiece.”
